A DREAM trip to Glastonbury for hundreds of music fans turned to chaos when the internet company they booked tickets with left them stranded for several hours in Birmingham.

A DREAM trip to Glastonbury for hundreds of music fans turned to chaos when the internet company they booked tickets with left them stranded for several hours in Birmingham.

Hundreds of excited people, many teenagers, gathered off Broad Street, at 4.30pm yesterday for coaches to take them to the world famous event.

But four hours later, most were still left waiting for coaches to turn up with the festival tickets on board from entertainment firm See Tickets.

And when one of the delayed coaches finally arrived, it landed a parking ticket from wardens because it was on double yellow lines.

See Tickets refused to comment on the situation.

Student Laura Ellis, of Doncaster Way, Bromford, said she had spent nearly #200 on the offer, which included transport and Glastonbury entry.

"It is chaos here and the supposed officials from the company disappeared when two traffic wardens and four Broad Street patrollers turned up," claimed Laura, aged 19. "This has ruined what was supposed to be one of the best experiences of my life.

"Everyone has been left stranded for hours, not knowing if a coach will turn up and if there will be Glastonbury tickets on board.

"Even if we get there, we will have to put a tent up in the dark. It's a nightmare rather than the dream trip I had planned."

Revellers started turning up at 3.30pm for the transport from The Crescent Theatre to Glastonbury music festival, which is sold out.

Mawson Chipchase, a 28-year-old activity co-ordinator at Sunrise Senior Living, in Solihull, who was travelling with wife Donna, said he had made repeated calls to the company.

"Spirits waned through the evening and people feel like they are being fobbed off," said Mawson. "This is my first trip to the Glastonbury festival, I have been trying to go for years, but the uncertainty of whether I will get there or not is terrible.

"I phoned See Tickets and they kept saying the coaches are coming, but not all of them turned up. Finally a supervisor said some of the coaches had been cancelled by an umbrella company that they use and they were trying to replace them."
